You have all wept once more, why?
I would never ask for such, go
I have realized for once in my existence my true happiness
This is a first time for me, I feel innocent, caring, and non-threatening
Reincarnation for a better life, becoming one with true harmony
No gods have caressed or burned me, only nature is willing to comfort me
Salvation is dead and all of you have passed away with me today
I will never have to entertain or please any of you ever again, I am alive
My memory is the only thing keeping the old tears in my eyes
I still know that all of you are taking for the sake of not leaving
You are killing the innocent for your so-called nutrition
You are infecting our lands with your filth
You are killing for the sake of your promotions in life
One day we will all be in this soil, with no gods to slave to, and no heroes to kill for

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "More of Myself to Kill" are poetically written and express a profound sense of liberation and freedom from external influences. The opening line, "you have all wept once more, why?" suggests that the singer has caused pain to those around them, but they do not seem to care about it. The next line, "I would never ask for such, go" is a clear indication that the singer wants to distance themselves from the people who have caused them pain. They are no longer willing to be a part of their lives.

The subsequent lines, "I have realized for once in my existence my true happiness / This is a first time for me, I feel innocent, caring, and non-threatening" convey that the singer has now found happiness in being alone and away from the people they once knew. The idea of reincarnation and becoming one with true harmony suggests that the singer has found peace within themselves and in the world around them. They have embraced nature and rebuked the idea of gods that have caused them harm.

The last lines of the song, "One day we will all be in this soil, with no gods to slave to, and no heroes to kill for" can be interpreted as a call for people to embrace nature and its inherent peace instead of serving deities that do not care for their well-being. The song is a powerful statement against the destructiveness of organized religion and the blind worship of authority figures.
